小烘炉Difference Bakery is a small bakery stall that daily sells freshly baked bread bun traditional snacks at reasonable prices. To some it might be slightly expensive. However, you get good stuffs unlike some suck blood stalls all over Singapore! In the past, older generations hawker stalls owner ensures food sold is hygienic, nutritious and portion is enough to keep the workers stomach full and healthy. They have a good heart! Nowadays many stalls are franchised and rental is high. Singaporean need to watch out for what they are eating.
The Bakery is not in Albert food center. It is located at the coffee shop in Blk 269B Queen Street. Blk 269B is in front of the Chinese temple.
I enjoyed the Coconut Bun. Curry Times also has coconut buns. I must say these two places produced the most authentic coconut buns that are in the 60s,70s! Brought back a piece of childhood memories. All those other buns can step aside 🤭🤭🤭
Came to try the pork rice but it was just average and not worth photo taking.
Waited almost 30 mins.
But the bean spouts with Cockles was good!
3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ goes to them.
The stalls at Albert Centre keep changing but there are some favorites such as this handmade yong tau fu @ $5
90 per bowl, lor mee and wantan mee.There are many fishball noodles stalls and some are pretty good. Many stalls have closed down such as Chendol. So I had the special treasures set which was a huge waste of money at $ 3.80. Some interesting options are blue pea nasi lemak rice, pig organ soup and braised pig trotters.
Strangely , there are 2 chwee kueh stalls, Bedok chwee kueh and a branch of Jian Bo from Tiong Bahru.
Many choices indeed
After looking through reviews, tried to look for the Indian rojak and bak chor Mee stalls but they were closed. Wanted to eat the pig trotters but it was $18 for 1. Too big for 2 women so we settled on the HK soy sauce chicken rice and noodles. Good choice. Very nice and tender meat. Had the ngoh hiang mixture too but forgot to take pixs. Was average. Hubby tarpao the fried carrot cake and chui kueh. He like them very much.
As a prawn noodle lover, decided to try the "火城大虾面". The soup is indeed robust and flavourful. The noodle is yummy with the tasty chilli paste. However, the pork rib is a bit tough, with mild favour. The prawns are ok. In terms of eating experience, it is quite a pain to try de-shell the prawn with the filmsy delicate disposable spoon and chop stick. For $7.50, one would expect at least some decent cutlery. For prawn soup lover, it is still recommended.
There is wide variety of fantastic food. Bought the bee hoon chicken set and Nasi lemak fish set ($3 each set) for my wife. The bee hoon was in a generous portion and the chicken wing was still hot and crispy. Also, the slice of luncheon meat was twice as thick as what I got elsewhere. The nasi rice was fragrant and the ikan bilis were crispy. For the price of $3, I think it’s very economical! I like the dessert from this stall 甜品之家。I got the mo mo cha cha for $2 and it was delicious and the jellies inside were soft. The green bean soup cost $1.50 and the portion you get is definitely worth the money. The western food stall looks popular as there are always people placing orders. Bought some for my kids. I think the prices are very reasonable.
This is an affordable and speedy clothes alteration service tucked inside Albert Centre.
He's a mute Uncle; will understand your needs better if you use simple sign language. He's patient and will give you good service. I highly recommend his good work.
Lots of good food, everything we tried today was good. Was there at about 8am to takeaway, some stalls already had queues. Recommend the porridge and chwee kueh👍
